The DCPP site is located in San Luis Obispo County approximately 190 miles south of San Francisco and 150 miles northwest of Los Angeles, California. lt is edjacenl to the Pacific Ocean, 12 miles west-southwest of the city of San Luis Obispo, the county seat. The plant site location and topography are shown in Figure 2,5-1 , The site is located near the mouth of Diablo Creek whioh flows out of the San Luis Range, lhe dominant feature to the northeast. The Pacific Ocean is southwest of the site. Facllities for the power plant are located on a nrarine terrace that is situated between lhe mountain range and the ocean, The terrace is bedrock overlain by surlicial deposits of marine and nonmarine origin.

The findings of these consultants are summarized in this section and the detailed repotts are included in Appndices 2.5A,2.5B,2.5C,2.5D,2,5E, and 2,5F ot Reference 27 in Section 2'3, Geologic investigation of the Diablo Canon coastal area, inoluding detailed mapping of all natural exposures and exploratory trenches, yielded the following basic conclusions: (1) The area is underlain by sedimentary and volcanic bedrock unlts of Miocene age, Within this area, the power plant site is underlain almost wholly by sedimentary strata of the Monterey Formation, which dip norlhward at moderate to very steep angles, More specifically, the reactor site is underlain by thick-bedded to almost massive Monterey sandstone that is well indurated and firm, \Mtere exposed on the nearby hillslope, this rock is markedly resistant to erosion. (z',) The bedrock beneath the main terrace area, within which the power plant site has been located, is covered by 3 to 35 feet of surficial deposits. These include marine sediments of Pleistocene age and nonmarine sediments of Pleistocene and Holocene age, ln general, they are thickest in the vicinlty of the reactor slte. (3) The interface between the unconsolidated terrace deposits and the underlying bedrock comprlses flat to moderately irregular surfaces of Pleistocene marine planation and intervening steeper slopes that also represnt erosion in Pleistocene time, (4) The bedrock beneath the power plant slte occupies the southerly flank of a major syncline that trends west to northwest. No evidence of a major fault has been recognized within or near the coastal area, and bedrock relationships in the exploratory trenches positively indicate that no such fault is present wlthin the area of the power plant site, (5) Minor surfaces of disturbancer some of which plainly are faults, are present within the bedrock that underlies the power plant site.

DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE these bresks offsets the interface between bedrock and the cover of terrace deposits, and none of them extends upward into the surfcial cover. Thus, the latest movements along these small faults must have antedated erosion of the bedrock section in Pleistocerie lime, (6) No landslide masses or other gross expressions of ground instability are present within the power plant sile or on the main hillslope easl of the site Some landslides have been identified in adjacent ground, but these are minor features confined to the naturally oversteepened walls of Diablo Canyon. (7) No waler of subsudace origin was ençountered in the exploratory trenches, ancl the level of permanent groundwater beneath the main terrace area probably is little different from that of the adjacent lower reaches of the deeply incised Diablo Creek i'.1'i,'i.

The most recent episode of large-scale movement along the reach of the San Andreas fault that is closest to the San Luis Range occuned during the great Fort Tejon eárthquake of 1857. Geologic evidence portinent to the behavior cif tlre faull during this and earlier seismic events was studied in great detail by Wallace (Refetencee 15 and ji? t"-"' who reported in terms of infrequent great earthquakes accontpanied by ground Edited for Consislency rupture of 10 to 30 feet, with intervening periods of near total quiescence.

Çoastal Block, The most prominent faults that re included within this zone are, from northwest to southeast, the Sur, Nacimiento, Rinconada, ancl (south) Nacimiento faults Tlre Sur fault, which extends as far nolhward as Point Sur on land, continues to lhe northwest in the offshore conlinental margin. At its southerly end, the zone termnates where the (south) Nacimiento fault is cut off by the Big Pine fault. The overall lenglh of the Sur-Nacimiento fault zone between Point Sur and the Transverse Ranges is about 180 miles. The 60 mlle long Nacimíento fault, between points of juncture with the Sur and Rinconada faults, forms lhe longest segment wilhin this zone. Pago (Reference r 1)sislated that: Edlled for Consistoncy "lt is unlikely lhat the Nacimiento fault proper has displaced lhe ground surface in Late Quaternry time, as there are no indicative offsets of streams, ridges, terrace deposits, or other topographic features. The Great Valley-type rocks on the northeast side must have been down-dropped against the older Franciscan rocks on the southwest, yet they commonly stand higher in the topography, This implies relative quiescence of the Lat Qualemary time, allowing differental erosjon to take place. ln a few localíties, the norlheast slde is the low Eide, and this inconsistency favors the same conclusion, ln addition lo the foregoing circumstances, the fault is offset by minor cross-faults in a manner suggesting lhat little, if any, Late Quaternary near-surface movement had occurred along the main fracture."

Dlbblee (Refererrce 2?){J however, has suggested that Edllod for Conststency these faults are part of a single system, provisionally termed the Rinconada fault zone atter one of its more prominent members, He also proposed abandoning the neme Nacimiento for the large fault that constltutes the mosl southerly parl of this system, as it is not continuous with the Nacimiento fault to the north, near lhe Nacimiento River.
The newly defined Rinconada fault system comprises the old (south) Nacimento, Rinconada, and San Marcos faults. Dibblee proposed that the system also include the I Espinosa and Reliz faults, to the north, but dtaiecl work by Durham (f-<eference 2ti]6 Edlted for Consiitency does not seem to support this interpretation. lnstead, the system may extend into Lockwood Valley and die out there along the Jolon and San Antonio faults, All the faults of the Rinconada system have undergone signlficant movement during middle and late Cenozoic time, though the entire system did not behave as a urrit. Dibblee pointed out that: "Relative vertical displacemenls are cortroversial, inconsistent, reversed from one segment to another; the major movement my be slrike slip, as on the San Andreas fault." Regarding the strurctural relationship of the Rinoonada fault lo rrearby faults, Dibblee wrote as follows:
"Thrust or reverse faults of Quaternary age are associated with the Rinconada faull along much of its course on one or both sides, within g miles, especially in areas of intense folding. ln the northem patt several, including the San Antonio fault, are present along both margins of the range of hills between the Salinas and Lockwood Valleys . . . , along which this range was elevated in part. Near lhe southern part are lhe major southwest-dipping South Cuyama and Ozena faults along which the Sierra Madre Range was elevated against Cuyama Valley, with vertical displacements possibly up to 8000 feet. All lhese thrust or reverse faults dip inward toward lhe Rinconacla fault and presumalrly either splay from it at depth, or are branches of it, These faults, combined with the intense folding between them, lndicated that severe compression accompanied possible transcurrent nlovemenl along the Rinconada fault."

There are no indicalions that these faulls are presently active."
- 4. San Sitneon Fault The fault here referred to as the San Simeon fault trends along lhe base of the peninsula that lis north of the settlement of San Simeon, This fault is on land for a distance of 12 miles belween its only outcrop, north of Ragged Point, and Point San Simeon. lt may extend as rnuch as 16 miles farther to the southeast, to the vicinity of Point Estero.. This possibility is suggested by the straight reach of coastline between Cambria and Point Estero, which is directly aligned with the onshore trend of the fault; its linear form may well have been controlled by a zone of sttuctural weakness associated with the infened southerly parl of the fault. South of Port Estero, however, there is no evidence of faulting observable in the seismic rellection profiles across Estero Bay, and the trend definecl by the Los Osos Valley-Estero Bay series of lower Miocene or Oligocene intrusivee extends across the San Simeon hend without deviation.
I tttonn of Point Pieclras Blancas, Silver (efererrcr 2ü)rq reports a fault with about Edlted for Conaistency 5 kilometers of vertical separation between the 4-kilometer-thick Tertiary section in the offshore basin and the nearby 1-lçilometer-high exposure of Franciscan basement rocks in the coastline mountain front, The existence of a fault in lhis region is also indioated by the 30- mllligal gravity anomaiy between tlre offshore basin and the onshore ranges (Plate ll of Appendix 2.5D of Reference ?7 in Sectlon 2,3), This postulated fault may well be a norlhward extension of the San Simeon fault lf this is the case, the San Simoon fault may have a total length of as mutch as 00 miles. 2,5-11 LBVP UFSAR Change Requesl Seismology and Geology 17
DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE Between Point San Simeon end Ragged Point, the San Simeon fault lies along the base of a broad peninsula, the surface of which is characterized by elevated marine terraces and younger, steep-walled ravines and canyons. The low, terraced topography of thg . peninsula contrasts sharply wlth that of the steep mountain front that rises immediately' behind lt, Clearly, the ground west of the maln fault represents a part of the sea floor that has been locally arched up. This has resulted in exposure of the fault, which elsewhere is concealed undenryater off the shoreline, The ground between the San Simeon fault and the southwest coastline of the Piedras Blancas peninsula is underlain by faulted blocks and slivers of Franciscan rocks, serpentinites, Tertiary sedimentary breccia and volcanic rocks, and Miocene shale. The faulted contacts between these rock masses trend somewhat more westerly than the trend of the San Simeon fault. One north-dipping reverse fault, which separates serpentinlte from graywacke, has broken marlne terrace deposlts ln at least two places, one of them in the basal part of lhe lowest and youngest tenace, Movement along this branch iault has therefore occurred less than 1 30,000 years before the present, although the uppermost, youngest Pleistocene deposits are apparently not broken. Prominent topographic lineations defined by northwest-aligned ravines that íncise the upper terrace surface, on the other hand, apparently have originated through headward gully erosion along faults and faulte{ contacts, rather than through the effects of surface faulting, The characteristics of the San Simeon fault can be summarized as follows: The fault may be related to a fault along the coast to the north that displays some 5 kilometers of vertical displacement. Near San Simeon, lt exhibits probable Plelstocene right-lateral strike-slip movement of as much as 1500 feet near San Simeon, although it apparently does not break dune sand deposits of late Pleistocene or early Holocene age. A.branch reverse fault, however, breaks upper Pleistocene marine terace deposits' The San Simeon fault may extend as far south as Point Estero, but lt dies out before crosslng the northern part of Estero Bay.

Sanfa Lucia Bank Fault South of the latitude of Point Piedras Blancas, the western boundary of the main offshore Santa Maria Basin is defined by the east-facing scarp along the east side of the Santa Lucia Bank.

The Miocene and later geologic history of the southern Coast Ranges region began with deposilion of the Vaqueros gnd Rincon Formalions on a surfce eroded on the Franciscan and Great Valfey core complex rocks. Following depcisition and some cleformation and erosion of these formations, lhe stratigraphic unl that includes the Point Sal and Obispo Formations as approximately oontemporaneous faoies was laid down, The Obispo oonsists of a seclion of tr.ffaceous sandstorre and mudstorre, witlr lesser amounts of shale, and lensing layers of vilric and lithic.crystal tuff. Locally, the unit is featured by masses of clastlc-textured tuffaceous rock that exhiit cross-cutting intrusive relations with the bedded parts of the formalion. The Obispo and Point Sal were folded and locally eroded prior to nitiation of lhe main episode of upper Miocene and Pliocene marine sedlmentation, During late middle Miocene to late Miocene time, deposition of the thick sections of silica-rich shale of lhe Monterey Forrnation began. Deposition of this formation and equlvalenl strata took place throughout much of the coastal region of Californla, but apparently was centered in a series of offshore basins that all developecl at about the same time, some 10 to 12 million years ago, Local volcanism toward lhe latler part of this time is shown by the presence of diabase dikes and sills in the Monterey. Near thé end of lhe Mlocene, the Monterey strata were subjected to oompresslonal deformation resulling in folcllng, in part with great complexity, and in faulting. Near the oid continental margin, represented by the Sur-Nacimienlo fault zone, the deformatlon was most intense, and was accompanied by uplift. This apparently resulted in the first development of many of the large folds of the southern Coast Ranges ncluding lhe Huasna and San Luis-Pismo synclines, and in the partial erosion of the folded Monterey section in areas of uplift The pattern of reglonal uplift of the Coast Ranges and subsidence of the offshore basins, with local upwarping and faulting in a zone of inflection along the boundÉry between the two regions, apparently became well eslatrlislred during the episocle of late Miocene and Mio-Pliocene cliastrophism Sedinrentation resumed rn Pliocene fime throughott mt,ch of lhe region of the Miocene

DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE Ranges. Pliocene deposits in the region of uplift were then folded, and there was renewed movemenl along mosl of the preexisting larger faults. Differential movements belween the Coast Ranges uplift and the offshore basins were again concentrated along the boundary zone of inllection, resulting in upwarping and faulting of the basemenl, Miocene, and Pliocene sections. Relative ciisplacement across parts of this zone evidently was dominantly vertical, because the faulting in the Pliocene has defnitely extensional character, and Miocene structures can be tracecl across the zone without apparent lateral offset, The asement and Tertiary sections step down seaward. away from the uplift, along a system of normal faults having hundreds to nearly a thousancl feet of dip-slip offset. A second, more seaward system of normal faults is antilhetic to the master set ancl exhibits only tens to a few hundreds of feet of displacement. Strata belween these faults locally exhibit reverse drag downfolding toward the edge of the Pliocene basin, whereas the section is essenlially undeformed farther offshore, This style of deformalion indicates a passive response, through gravity tectonics, to the onshore uplift, The Plio-Pleistocene uplift was accompanied by rapid erosion, with consequent nerby deposition of clastic sediments such as the Paso Robles Formalion in valleys lhrouglrout the southern Coast Ranges. The high-angle reverse and normal faultíng I observed by Compton (Referencn 38)#i in lhe northern Santa Lucia Range also Ecllled for Consstency occurred farther south, probably more or less contemporaneously wlth accumulation of the continental deposits. Much of the Quaternary faulting other than that related to the San Andreas right lateral stress-straln system my well have occurred at this time. Tectonlc activity during the Quaternary has involved continued general uplifl of the southern Coast Ranges, with superimposed local downwarping and continued movement along faults of the San Andreas syslem, The uplift is shown by the generál high elevation and steep youthful topography that charactrizes the Goast Ranges and by'the wirlespread uplifted marine and stream terraces. Local downwarping can be seen in valleys, such as the Santa Maria Valley, where thick sections of Plio-Pleistocene and younger deposits have accumr.tlated. Evidence of signifioanl late Quaternary fault movement is seen in the topography along the Rinconada-San Marcos, Espinosa, San Simeon, and Santa Lucia Bank faults, as well as along the San Andreas itself. Only along the San Andreas, however, is there evidence of Holocene or contempolary movemeni. The latest stage in the evolution of the San Luis Range has extencld from mid-Pleistocene time to the present, and has involved more or less continuous interaction between apparent uplitt of the range and alternaling periods of erosion or deposition, especially along the coest, durng times of relatively rising, falling, or unchanging sea level, The developmenl of wave-cut benches and the accumulalion of marine deposlls on these bençhes have provided a reliable guide to the minlmum age oI latest displacements along breaks in the underlying bedrock. Detailed exploralion of lhe interfaces between wave-cut benches and overlying marlne deposits al the site of DCPP has shown that no breaks extend across these interfaces, This demonstrates 2.5-1A LBVP UFSAR Change Request Seisnrology and Geology 24
DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE that the youngest faulting or other bedrock breakage in that area antedated the time of terrace cutting, whioh is on the order of 80,000 to 120,000 years before the present. The bedrock seotion and the surfcial deposits that formerly capped this bedrock on which the power plant facilities are located have been studied in detall to determine
'whether they express any evidence of deformation or dislocation ascribable to earthquake effects, The surficial geologic materials at the site consisted of a thin, discontinuous basal section of rubbly marine sand and sllty sand, and an overlylng section of nonmarine rocky sand and sandy clay alluvial and colluvial deposits, These deposits were extensively exposed by exploratory trenches, and were examined and mapped ln detaíl, No evidence of earthquake-induced effects suoh as lurching, slumping, fissuring, and liquefaction was detected during thls investlgation.
The initial movement of some of the landslide masses now present in Diablo Canyon upstream from the switchyard area may have been triggered by earthquake shaking. lt is also possible that some local talus deposlts may represent earthquake-triggered rock falls from the sea cliff or other steep slopes in the vicinity. Deformation of the rock substrata ln the slte area may well have been accompanled by earthquake activity at the time of its occurrence in the geologio past, There is no evidence, however, of post-terrace earthquake effects in the bedrock where the power plant is being constructed.

The lower part of this section comprises rocks of the Vaqueros, Rincon, and Obispo Formations, which range in age from lower Mioc.ene through middle Miocene, These strata crop out in lhe vicinity of Hazard Canyon, at the northwest end of the range, and in a broad band along the south coastal margin of the range, ln both areas the Vaqueros rests directly on Mesozoic basement rocks. The core of the western San Luis Range is underlain by the Upper Miocene Monterey Formation, which constitutes the bulk of the Tertiary section. The Upper Miocene to Lower Pliocene Pismo Formation crops out in a discontinuous band along the southwest flank and across the west end of the range, resting with some discordance on the Monterey section and elsewhere directly on older Tertiary or basement rocks. The coastal area in the vicinity of Diablo Canyon is underlain by strata that have been variously correlated with the Obispo, Poinl Sal, and Monterey Formations, Headlee, for example, has shown the Point Sal as overlying the Obispo, whereas Hall has considered these two units as different facies of a single time-stratigraphio unit, Whatever the exact stratigraphic relationships of these rocks might prove to be, it is clear that they lie above the main body of tuffaceous sedimenlary rooks of the Obispo Formation and below the main part of the Monterey Formatlon. The existence of intrusive bodies of both tuff breccia and diabase in this part of the section indicates either that local volcanic activity continued beyond the time of deposition of the Obispo Formation, or that the section represents a predominantly sedimentary facies of the upper part of the Obispo Formation. ln either oase, the strata underlying the power plant site range downward through the Obispo Formation and presumably include a few hundred feet of the Rincon and Vaqueros Formations resting upon a basement of Mesozoic rooks. A generalized description of the major units in the Tertiary section follows, and a more detailed description of the rocks exposed at the power plant site is included in a later section.

This set of folds trends obliquely into a north-northwest aligned zone of basement upwarping, folding, and hlgh-angle normal faulting that lies a few miles off lhe coast.

These distinctive bodies are present at isolated points along the approximate axis of the antiform over a distance of 22 miles, extending from the center of outer Estero Bay to the upper part of Los Osos Valley (Figure 2.5-6), The consistent trend of the intrusives provides a useful reference for assessing the possibility of northwest-trending lateral slip faulting within Estero Bay. lt shows that such faulting has not extended across the trend from either the inferred San Simeon fault offshore south extenslon, or from faults in the ground east of the San Simeon trend, I Z.S.Z+l1.5.4 Edna and San Miguelito Fault Zgnqq Edlted for Clarlty .

A series of near-suÉace structural troughs forms prominen!features within the segment of the boundary zone structure that extends between the approximate latitudes of Arroyo Grande and Estero Bay. This trough structure apparently has formed through the extension and subsidence of a block of ground in the zone where the downwarp of the offshore basin has pulled away from the Santa Lucia uplift, Continued subsidence of this block has resulted in deformation and partial disruption of the buttress unconformity between the otfshore Pliocene section and the near-shore Miocene and older rocks, This deformation is expressed by normal faulting and reverse drag type downfolding of the Pliocene strata adjacent to the contact, along the east side of the trough.

Both the sedimentary and volcanic rocks have been folded and othentrise disturbed over a considerable range of scales, Surficial deposits of Quaternary age are widespread, ln a few places, they are as thiok as 50 feet, but their average thickness probably is on the order of 20 feet over the terrace areas and 10 feet or less over the entire mapped ground, The most extensive deposits underlie the main topographic tenace. Like many other parts of the California coast, the Diablo Canyon area is characterized by several wave-cut benches of Pleistocene age. These sulaces of irregular but generally low relief were developed across bedrock by marlne eroslon, and they are ancient analogues of the benches now being cut approximately at sea level along the present coast. They were formed during periods when the sea level was higher, relative to the adjacent land, than it is now, Each is thinly and discontinuously mantled with marine sand, gravel, and rubble similar to the beach and offshore deposits that are accumulating along the present coastline, Along its landward margin each bears thicker and more localized coarse deposits similar to the modern talus along the base of the present sea cliff. 2.5-26 LBVP UFSAR Change Request Seismology and Geology 32

Edlled for Clarity - Rovised Seclion I z.s.zl.z.s.z Monterey Formatlon Number Stratified marine rocks variously correlated with the Monterey Formation, Point Sal Formation, and Obispo Tuff underlie most of the subject area, including all of that portion intended for power plant locatlon, They are almost conllnuously exposed along lhe cresoentic sea cliff that borders Diabto Cove, and elsewhere lhey appear in much lnore localized outcrops, For convenlence, lhey are here assigned lo the Monterey Formation ("Tm" on map, Figure 2,5-8) in order to delineate them from lhe adjacent more tuffaceous rocks so lypioal of the Obispo Tuff. The observed rook types, listed in general orderof decreaslng abundanoe, are silty and tuffaceous sandstone, siliceous shale, ohaly siltstone and mudstone, diatomaceous shale, sandyto highly tuffaoeous shale, calcareous shale and impure limestoné, bituminous shale, fine- to coarse-geined sandstone, impure vitric tuff, sllicified limestone and shale, ancl tutf-pellet sandstone. Dark colorecl and relatively fne'grained slrata are most abundant in the lowest part of the seclion, as exposed along lhe east síde of Diablo Cove, whereas lighter colored sandstones and siliceous shales are dominant ât tratigraphically lrigher levels farther north. ln detail, howevet, the different rock types are interbeddecl in various combinations, and intervals of unlform lithology rarely are thlcker than 30 feel, lndeed, the closely-spaced alternations of contrasting strata yield a prominent rib-like pattern of oulcrop along much of lhe sea cliff and shoreline bench forr.ning tlre margin of Diablo Cove-The sandstones are mainly fine- to medium-grained, and most are distinctly tutfaceous, Shards of volcanic Alass generally are recognizable under lhe microscope, ancl the very fine-grained siliceous matrix may well have been derived largely through alteration of original glassy material. Some of the sandstone contains small but megascopically visible fragments of pumice, perlitic glass, and tuff, and a few beds grade along strike into submarine tuff breccia.

DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE 15 feet, Some of them are hard and very resistant to erosion, and they typically form subdued but nearly continuous elongated projeclions on major hillslopes (Figure 2.5-8), The siliceous shales are buff to light gray platy rocks that are moderately hard to extremely hard accordíng to their silica content, but they tend to break readily along bedding and fracture surfaces, The bituminous rocks and the slltstones and mudstones are darker colored, softer, and grossly more compact. Some of them are very thinly bedded or lamlnated, others appear almost massive or form matrices for irregularly ellipsoidal masses of somewhat sandier materil. The diatomaceous, tuffaceous, and sandy rocks are lighter colored. The more tuffaceous types are softer, and the diatomaceous ones are soft to the degree of punkiness; both kinds of rocks are easily eroded, but are markedly cohesive and tend to retain their gross posltions on even the steepest of slopes, The siliceous shale and most of the hardest, highly siliclfied rooks weather to very light gray, and the dark colored, fine-grained rocks tend to bleach when weathered. The other lypes, including the sandstones, weather to various shades of buff and light brown. Stains of iron oxides are widespread on exposures of nearly all the Monterey rocks, and are especially well developed on some of the finest-grained shales that contain disseminated pyrite, All but the hardest and most thick-bedded rocks are considerably broken to depths of as much as 6 feet ín the zone of weathering on slopes other than lhe present sea cliff, and the broken fragments have been separated and displaced by surface creep to somewhat lesser depths.

I i2.s.z+:2,s.;,4 Masses of Brecclated Rocks Hlghly irregular masses of coarsely breociated rocks, a few feet to many tens of feet in maximum dimension, are present in some of the relatively siliceous parts of the Monterey section that adjoin the principal bodies of Obispo Tuff. The fracturing and dislocation is not genetically related to any recognizable faults, but instead seems to have been associated with emplacement of the volcanic rocks; lt evidently was accompanied by, or soon followed by, extensive silicification, Many adjacent fragments in the breccias are closely juxtaposed and have matching opposed aurfaces, so that they plainly represent no more than coarse crackling of the brittle rocks. Other fragments, though angular or subangular, are not readily matched with adjacent fragments and hence may represent significant translation wlthin the entire rock masses. 2.5-30 LBVP UFSAR Change Requesl Seismology and Geology 36
DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE The ratio of matrix materials to coarse fragments is very low in most of the breccias and nowhere was it observed to exceed about 1:3, The matrices generally comprlse smaller angular fiagments of the same Monterey rocks that are elsewhere dominant in the breccias, and they characteristically are set in a slliceous cement. Tuffaceous matrices, with or without Monterey fragments, also are widespread and commonly show the effects of pervaslve silicification, All the exposed breccias are firmly cemented, and they rank among the hardest and most resistant units in the entire bedrock section. A few 3 to 1E inch beds of sandstone have been pulled apart to form separate tabular masses along specific stratigraphic horizons in higher parts of the Monterey sequence. Such lndividual tablets, which are boudins rather than ordinary breccia fragments, are especially well exposed in the sea cliff at the northern corner of Diablo Cove, They are flanked by much finer-grained strata that converge around their ends and continue essentially unbroken beyond them. This boudinage or separation and stringing out of sandstone beds that lie within intervals of much softer and more shaly rocks has resulted from compression during folding of the Monterey section. lts distribution is stratigraphically controlled and ls not systematically related to recognizable faults in the area, I z.s.z+,z,l.d Surficial Depgsits :Edited forClarity - Revlsed Sectlon Number
- 1. Coastal Temce Deposits The coastal wave-cut benches of Pleistocene age, as described in a foregoing section, are almost continuously blanketed by terrace deposits (Qter in Figure 2,5-8) of several contrasting types and modes of origin. The oldest of these deposits are relatively thin and patchy in their occurrence, and were laid down along and adjacent to ancient beaches duríng Pleistocene time, They are covered by considerably thicker and more extensive nonmarine accumulations of detrital materials derived from various landward sources, The marine deposits consist of silt, sand, gravel, and cobbly to bouldery rubble. They are approximately 2 feet in average thickness over the entire terrace area and reach a maximum observed thickness of about 8 feet. They rest directly upon bedrock, some of which is marked by numerous holes attributable to the action of boring marine mollusks, and they commonly contain large rounded cobbles and boulders of Monterey and Obispo rocks that have been símilarly bored. Lenses and pockets of highly fossilíferous sand and gravel are present locally, The marine sediments are poorly to very well sorted and loose to modorately well consolidated. All of them have been naturally compacted; the degree of compaction varies according to the material, but it is consistently greater than that observed ln any of the associated surficial deposits of other types. Near the inner margins of individual wave-cut benches the marine deposits merge landward into coarser and less well-sorted debris that evidently accumulated along the bases of ancient sea cliffs or 2.5-31 LBVP UFSAR Change Requesl Seismology and Geology 37
DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE other shoreline slopes, This debris is locally as much as 12 feet thick; it forms broad but very short aprons, now buried beneath younger deposits, that are ancient analogues of the talus accumulations along the inner margin of the present beach in Diablo Cove, One of these occurences, identified as "fossil Qtb" in the geologic map of Figure 2.5-8, is well exposed high on the northerly wall of Diablo Canyon, A younger, thicker, and much more continuous nonmarine cover is present over most of the coastal terrace area, lt conslstently overlies the marine deposits noted above, and, where thse are absent, it rests directly upon bedrock, lt is composed in part of alluvial detritus contributed during Pleistocene time from Diablo Canyon and several smaller drainage courses, and it thickens markedly as traced sourceward toward these canyons, The detritus represents a series of alluvial fans, some of which appear to have partly coalesced with adjacent ones. lt is chiefly fine- to moderately-coarse-grained gravel and rubble characterized by tabular fragments of Monterey rocks in a rather abundant silty.to clayey matrix. Most of it is thlnly and regularly stratlfied, but the distinctness of this layering varies greatly from place to place. Slump, creep, and slope-wash deposits, derived from adjacent hlllsides by relatively slow downhill movement over long periods of tlme, also form major parts of the nonmarine tenace cover, All are loose and uncompacted. They comprise fragments of Monterey rocks in dark colored clayey matrices, and their internal structure is essentially chaotic. ln some places they are crudely interlayered with the alluvial fan deposits, and elsewhere they overlie these bedded sediments. On parts of the maln terrace area not reached by any of the alluvial fans, a cover of slump, creep, and slope-wash deposits, a few inches to nearly 10 feet thick, rests directly upon either marine terrace deposits or bedrock. Thus, the entire section of terrace deposits that caps the coastal benches of Pleistocene marine erosion is heterogeneous and internally complex; it includes contributions of detritus from contrasting sources, from dlfferent directions at different times, and via several basically different modes of transport and deposition,

Stream-tenace Deposits Several narrow, irregular benches along the walls of Diablo Canyon are veneered by a few inches to 6 feet of silty gravels that are somewhat coarser but otherwise similar to the alluvial fan deposits described above. These stream-terrace deposits (Qst) originally occupied the bottom of the canyon at a time when the lower course of Diablo Creek had been cut downward through the alluvial fan sediments of the main terrace and well into the underlying bedrock. Subsequent deepening of the canyon left remnants of the deposits as cappings on scattered small terraces,

Large landslides, some of them involving substantial thickness of bedrock, are present on both sides of Diablo Canyon not far northeast of th power plant area. These occurrences need not e considereci in connection wilh the planl slte, but they have been regarded as significant factors in establishing a satisfactory grading design for the switchyard and other up-canyon installations. They are not dealt with in this section.
- 4. Slump, Areap, and S/ope-wash Deposs As noted earlier, slump, creep, and slope-wash deposits (Qsw) form parts of the nonmarine sedimentary blahket on the main terrace, These materials are shown separately on the geologic map only in those limited areas where they have been considerably concerrtraled along well-defined swales and are readily distinguished from other surficial deposits. Their actual distrlbr.rtion is much wder, nd they undoubtedly are present over a large fraction of the areas designatecl as Qter; their average lhickness in such areas, however, is probably less than 5 feet, Angular fragments of Monterey rocks are sparsely to very abundantly scattered through lhe slump, creep. and slope-wash deposits, whose most oharaclerislic feature is a fine-grained matrix that is dark colored, moderately rich in clay minerals, and extremely soft when wet. lnternal layering is rarely observable and nowhere is sharply expressed, The debris seenrs to have been rather thoroughly intermixed cluring its slow migration down hlllslopes in response to gravity. That it was derived nrainly from broken materials in the zone of weathering is shown by several exposures in which it grades downward through soily debris into highly disturbed and partly weathered beclrock, and thence into progressively fresher ancl less roken bedrock,

The beach deposlts consist chiefly of well-rounded cobbles. They form thin veneers over bedrock, and in Diablo Cove they grade seaward into patches of coarse pebbly sand. The floors of both Diablo Cove and South Cove probably are irregular in detail and are featured by rather hard, fresh bedrock that is discontinuously overlain by irregular thin bodies of sand and gravel, The distribution and abundance of kelp suggest that bedrock crops out over large parts ofthese cove areas where the sea bottom cannot be observed from onshore points.

Thus the main syncllne, though Edited lor Clarlty - Reler to ApBlicsbllity Delormlnâllon Malx lten' simple in gross form, is distnctly asymmetric.

Smaller folds, corrugations, ancl highly irregular convolutlons are wldespread among the Monterey rocks, especlally the finest-grainecl and most shaley lypes. Some of lhese flexures trend east to southeast and appear to be drag features systematically related to the larger-scale folding in the area.

Some of this contoÉion appears to have derived from slumping and sliding of unconsoliclated sediments on lhe Miocene sea floor during accumulation of the Monterey section. Most of lt, in contrast, plainly oocurred at much laler times, presumably after oonversion of the sediments to sedimentary rocks, and lt can be most readily attributed to highly localized deformation during the ancient folding of a section that comprses rocks with oontrasting degrees of struotural oompetenoe l 2.s.21,2,4.3 Faus Edled for Clarlty - Revlsed Scllon Number Numerous feults with total displacemenls ranging from a few inches to several feet cttt the exposed Monterey rocks.

Thus, the three larger faults in the area evidently were superimposed upon ground that already had been deformed primarily by small-scale and locally very intense folding rather than by pervasive grinding and milling, It is not known whether these faults were late-stage results of major folding ln lhe region or were products of independent tectonic activlty. ln either case, they are relatlvely ancient features, as they are capped without break by the Quaternary terrace deposits exposed along the u elements of regional rock along their respectiv ets among recognizable stratigraphic units, 2.5-37 LBVP UFSAR Change Request Seismology and Geology 43

- 1. Bedrock The bedrock that was continuously exposed in the lowest parts of all the exploratory trenches lies within a portion of the Montery Formation charaoterized by a preponderance of sandstone. lt corresponds to the part of the section that crops out in
, lower Diablo Canyon and along the sea cliff souteastward from the canyon mouth. The sandstone ranges from light gray through buff to light reddish brown, from silty to markedly tutfaceous, and from thin-bedded and platy to massive. The distribution and thickness of beds can be readily appralsed from sections along Trenches A and B (Figure 2,5-12) that show nearly all individual bedding surfaces that could be recognized on the ground.
The sandstone ranges from very hard to moderately soft, and some of lt feels slightly punky when struck with a pick. All of it is, however, firm and very compac,t. ln general, the most platy parts of the sequence are also the hardest, but the soundest rock in the area is almost masslve sandstone of the kind that underlies the site of the intended reactor structure. This rock is well exposed on the nearby hillslope adjoining the main terrace area, where it has been markedly resistant to erosion and stands out as distinct low ridges. Tuff, consisting chiefly of altered volcanic glass, forms irregular sills and dikes ln several parts of the bedrock section. This material, generally light gray to buff, is compact but distinctly softer than the enclosing sandstone, lndividual bodies are 112 inch to 4 feet thick, They are locally abundant ln Trench C west of Trench A, and in Trench A southward beyond the end of the section in Figure 2.5'12. They are very rare or absent in Trenches B and D, and in the easterly parts of Trench C and the northerly parts of Trench A. These volcanic rocks probably are related to the Obispo Tuff as described earlier, but all known masses of typical Obispo rocks in this area lie at considerable distances west and south ofthe ground occupied by lhe trenches.
- 2. Bedrock Structure The stratification of the Monterey rocks dips northward wherever it was observable in the trenches, in general, at angles of 35 to 55". Thus, the bedrock beneath the power plant site evidently lies on the southerly flank of the major syncline noted and described earlier. Zones of convolution and other expressions of locally intense folding were not recognized, and probably are much less common in this general part of the section than in other, previously described parts that include intervals of softer and more shaley rocks, Much of the sandstone is traversed by fractures, Planar, curving, and irregular surfaces are well represented, and, in places, they are aundant and closely spaced. All prominent fractures and many of the minor and discontinuous ones aro shown in the sections of Figure 2.5-12.

Such zones were obserued to reach a maximum thlckness of nearly l12inch along two small faults, but onty as local lenses or pockets. Exposures were not sufficiently extensive in three dimensions for definitely determining the magnltude of slip along lhe more prominent faults, but all of these breaks appeared to be mlnor features. lndeed, no expressions of major faulting were recognized in any of the trenches despite oareful search, and the continuous bedrock exposures precluded the possibility that such features could have been readily overlooked. A northeast-trending fault that appears on the sea cliff at the mouth of Diablo Canyon projects toward the ground in the northernmost part of the power plant site, as noted in a foregoing section. No zone of breaks as prominent as this one was identified ln the trench exposures, and any dístinct northeastward continuation of the fault would necessarily lie north of the trenched ground. Alternatively, this fault might well separate northeaslward into several smaller faults; some or all of these could correspond to some or all of the breaks mapped in the northerly parts of Trenches A and B.

Terrace Deposds Marine terrace deposits of Pleistocene age form a cover, generally 2 to 5 feet thick, over the bedrock that líes beneath the power plant síte, This cover was observed to be continuous in Trench C and the northerly part of Trench A, and to be nearly continuous in the other two trenches, lts lithology is highly variable, and includes bouldery rubble, loose beach sand, pebbly silt, silty to clayey sand with abundant shell fragments, and soft clay derived from underlying tuffaceous rocks, Nearly all of these deposlts are at least sparsely fossiliferous, and, in a few places, they consist mainly of shells and shell fragments, Vertebrate fossils, chiefly vertebral and rib materials representing large marine mammals, are present locally; recognized occurences are designated by the symbol X ln the sections of Figure 2.5-12.
At the easterly ends of Trenches C and D, the marine deposits lntergrade and intertongue in a landward direction with thicker and coarser accumulations of poorly sorted debris, This material evidently ls talus that was formed along the base of an ancient sea cliff or other shoreline slope. ln some places, the maririe deposits are overlain by nonmarine terrace sediments with a sharp break, but elsewhere the contact between these two kinds of deposits is a dark colored zone, a few inches to as much as 2 feet thick, that appears to represent a soll developed on the marine section, Fragments of these soily materials appear here and there in the basal parts of the nonmarine section, 2,5-41 LBVP UFSAR Change Request Seismology and Geology 47

\Mere the gravels are absent, as in the southerly part of Trench A, this younger oover rests directly upon bedrock. lt is loose and uncompacted, internally chaotic, and is composed of fragments of Monterey rocks in an abundant dark colored clayey matrix.
All the terrace deposits are soft and unconsolidated, and hence are much less resistant to erosion than is the underlying bedrock.

- 4. lnteiace Between Bedrock and Sutficia\ Deposls As once exposed continuously in the exploratory trenches, the contact between bedrock and oveflying terrace deposits represents a broad wave-cut platform of Flelstocene age, This buried surface of ancient marine erosion ranges in altltude between extremes of 82 and 100 feet, and more than three-fourths of it lies within the more limited range of 90 to 100 feet. lt terminates eastward agalnst a moderately steep shoreline slope, the lowest parts of which were encountered at the extreme easterly ends of Trenches C and D, and beyond this slope is an older buried bench at an altitude of 120 to 130 feet.
Avallable exposures indicate that the configuration of the eroslonal platform is markedly similar, over a wide range of scales, to that of the platform now being cut approximately at sea level along the present coast. n a seaward (westerly) direction and is marked by rd projections that must have appeared ch was being formed (Figures 2,5-12 and2.5 rly exposed in Trenches B and D at and near their intersection, is a wide, westerly-trending projection that rlses 5 to 15 feet above neighboring parts of the bench surface. lt is composed of massive sandstone that was relatively resistant to the ancient wave erosion. As shown in the sections and sketches of Figure 2.5-12, the surface of the platform is nearly planar in some places but elsewhere is highly irregular in detail. The smâll-scale irregularities, generally 3 feet or less in vertical extent, including knob, spine, and rib like 2,5_42 LBVP UFSAR Change Request Seismology and Geology 48
DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE projections and various wave-scoured pits, crevices, notches, and channels, The upward projections clearly correspond to relatively hard, resistant beds or parts of beds ln the sandstone section. The depressions conslstently mark the posltions of relatively soft silty or shaley sandstone, of very soft tuffaceous rocks, or of extensively jointed rocks. The surface traces of most faults and some of the most prominent joints are in sharp depressions, some of them wlth overhanging walls, All these irregularities of detail have modern analogues that can be recognized on the bedrock bench now being cut along the margins of Diablo Cove, The interface between bedrock and overlying surficial deposits is of particular interest in the trenched area because it provides information concernlng the age of youngest fault movements wlthin the bedrock section. This interface ls nowhere offset by faults revealed in the trenches, but instead has been developed inegularly across these faults after their latest movements. The consistency of thls general relationship was established by highly detailed tracing and inspection of the contact as freshly exhumed by scaling of the trench walls, Gaps in exposure of lhe interface necessarily were developed at the bur intersections of trenches; at these localities, the bedrock was carefully laid bare so that alljolnts and faults could be recognized and traced along the trench floors to points where their relationships with the exposed interface could be determined. Corroborative evidence conoerning the age of the most recent fault displacements stems from the marine deposits that overlie the bedrock benoh and form the basal part of the terrace section. That these deposits rest without break across the traces of faults in the underlying bedrock was shown by the continuity of individual sedimentary beds and lenses that could be clearly recognized and traced. Further, some of the faults are directly capped by individual boulders, cobbles, pebbles, shells, and fossil bones, none of which have been affected by fault movements, Thus, the most recent fault displacements in the plant site area occurred prior to marine planation of the bedrock and deposition of the overlying terrace sediments. As pointed out earlier, the age of the most recent faulting in this area is therefore at least 80,000 years and more probably at least 120,000 years, lt mlght be mlllions of years. I A.S.z+.z.s.e Exploratory Trenchlng Program, Unlt 2 Site Edlted for Clarlty - Rovised Seclion Númber Eight additional trenches were out beneath the main terrace surface south of Diablo Canyon (Figure 2.5-13) in order to extend the scope of subsurface exploration to include all ground in the Unit 2 plant site. As in the area of the Unit 1 plant site, the trenches formed two groups; those ln each group were parallel with one another and were oriented nearly normal to those of the other group. The excavations'pertinent to the Unit 2 plant site can be briefly identifed as follows:
- 1. Noth-nofthwest Alignment 2,5-43 LBVP UFSAR Change Request Seismology and Geology 49

- c. . Trench MV, 700 feet long, lay about 190 feet east of Trench WU. The northernmost 250 feet of this trench was mapped in connection with the Unit 2 trenching program.
- d. Trench AF (originally designated as Trench A) was mapped earlier in connection with the detailed study of the Unit 1 plant site. A section for this trench, which lay about 140 feet west of Trench EJ, was included with others in the report on the Unit 1 trenching program.
- 2. East-nothoast Alignment a, Trench KL, about 750 feet long, lay 180 feet south of Trench DG (originally designated as Trench D) and crossed Trenches AF, EJ, and WU.
b Trench NO, about 730 feet long, lay 250 feet south of Trenoh KL and crossed Trenches AF, WU, and MV. These trenches, or parts thereof, covered the area intended for the Unlt 2 power plant construction, and the intersection of Trenches \A/U and KL coinoded in position with the center of the Unit 2 nuclear reactor structure. All five additional trenches, throughout their: aggregate length of nearly half a mile, revealed a section of surfcial deposlts and underlying Monterey bedrock tha! corresponded to the two-ply sequence of surficial deposits and Monterey strata exposed in the older trenches and along the sea cliff in nearby Diablo Cove, The trenches ranged in depth from 10 feet (or less along their approach ramps) to nearly 35 feet, and all had sloping sides that gave way downward to essentially vertical walls in the bedrock encountered 3lo 22 feet above their floors, To facilitate detailed geologic mapping, the easterly walls of Trenches EJ, WU, and MV and the southerly walls of Trenches KL and NO were trimmed to near-vertical slopes extending upward from the trench floors to levels well above the top of bedrock. These walls subsequently were scaled back by means of hand tools in order to provide fresh, clean exposures prior to mapping of the contact between bedrock and overlying unconsolidated materlals. The geologic sections shown in Figures 2,5-12 and 2.5-13 correspond in position to the vertical portions of the mapped trench walls. Relationships exposed at higher levels on sloping portions of the trench walls have been projected to the vertical planes of the sections.

- 3. Bedrock The bedrock that was continuously exposed in the lowest parts of all the Bxploatory lrenches lies wlthin a part of the Monterey Formation characrized by a preponderance of sandstone, lt conesponds to the portion of the section that crops out along the sea clifi southward from the mouth of Diablo Canyon. The sandstone is light to medium gray where fresh, and light gray to buff and reddish brown where weathered. lt ranges
, from silty to markedly tuffaceous, with tuffaceous units tending to dominate southward I and southwestward from the central parts of the trenched area (refer lo** geologic Edltd for Clarlly - Refer to secton in Figure 2.5-13), Much of the sandstone is thin-bedded and platy, but the most Appllcabllily Delerminton Malrlx ltet siliceous parts of the sectlon are characterlzed by a strata a foot or more in thickness. i7 lndivldual beds commonly are well deflned by adjacent thin layers of more sllly nraterial.
Bedding is less distinct in the more luffaceoug parts of the section, some of which seem to e almost massive. These rocks typically are broken by numerous tight fractures disposed at high angles to one another so llrat, where weathered, their appearance is ooarsely blocky rather than layered. As broadly indicated in the geologic seclions, the sandstone ranges from very hard to moderately sofl, and some of lt feels slightly punky when struck with a piok. All of lt, however, is firrn and very compacl ln general, the most platy parts of the sequence are relatively hard, but the hardest and soundest rock in the area is lhicK-bedded to almost massive sandstone of the kind at and lmmediately north of the site for the intended reactor structure. This resistant rocK is well exposed as distinct low ridges on the nearby hillslope adjoining the main tenace area, Tuff, consisting chiefly of altered volcanic glass, is abundant within the bedrock section. Also widely scattered, ut much less abundant, is tuff breccia, consisting typieally of smalt fragmante of older tuff, pumlce, or Monterey rocks in a matrix of fresh to altered volcanic glass. These materials, which form sllls, dikes, and highly iregular intrusive rnasses, are generally light gray to buff, gritty, and compact but distinctly softer llran much of the enclosing sandstone- lndividual lrodies range from stringers less than a quarter of an lnch thick to bulbous or mushroom-shaped masses with maximum exposed dimensions measured ln tens of feet. As shown on the geologic sectlons, they are abundant in all tlre trenches. These volcanic rocks probably are related to the Obispo Tuff, large masses of which are wefl exposed west and south of the trenched ground. The bodies exposed in lhe trenches doubtless represent a rather lengthy period of Miocene volcanism, during which the Monlerey strata were repeatedly invadecl by bolh tutf and tuff breccia. lndeed, several of the mapped tuff units were llrerirselves intruded lry dlkes of younger tuff, as shown, for example, in Sections l(L and NO. 2 5.45 LBVP UFSAR Change Requesl Seismology and Geology 51
DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE
- 4. Bedrock Structure The stratification of the Monterey rocks dips northward wherever it was observable in the trenches, in general, at angles of45 to 85", The steepness of dip increases progressively from north to south in the trenched ground, a relationship also noted along the sea cliff southward from the mouth of Diablo Canyon. Thus, the bedrock beneath the power plant site evidently lies on the southerly flank of the major syncline that was described previously. Zones of convolution and other expressions of locally intense folding were not recognized, and they probably are much less common in this general part of the section than in other (previously described) parts that lnclude intervals of softer and more shaley rocks.
Much of the sandstone is traversed by fractures. Planar, curving, and lrregular surfaces are well represented, and in places they are abundant and closely spaced, All prominent'fractures and nearly all of the minor and discontinuous ones are shown on the geologic sec{ions (Figure 2,5-13). Also shown ln these sections are all recognlzed shear surfaces, faults, and other discontinuities along which the bedrock has been . displaced, Such features are nowhere abundant in the trench exposures, Most of the surfaces of movement are hairlíne breaks with or without thin films of clay, calclte, and/or gypsum, Displacements range from a small fraction of an inch to several inches, A few other surfaces are more prominent, with well-defined zones of fine, grained breccia and/or infilling mineral material ordinarily 1/8 inch or less in thickness, Such zones were observed to reach maximum thicknesses of 3/8 to 1/2 inch along three small faults, but only as local lenses or pockets, Exposures are not sufficiently extensive in three dimensions for definitely determining the magnitude of slip along allthe faults, but for most of them it is plainly a few lnches or less. None of them appears to be more than a minor break in a bedrock section that has been folded on a large scale. lndeed, no expres'sions of major faulting were recognized in any ofthe trenches despite careful search, and the continuous bedrock exposures preclude the posslbility that such features could be readily overlooked. Most surfaces of past movement probably were active during times when the Monterey rooks were being deformed by folding, when rupture and some differential movements would be expected ln a section comprising such markedly differing rook gpes, Some of the fault displacements may well have been older, as attested in two places by relationships involving small faults, the Monterey rocks, and tuff. ln Trench \tVU south of Trench KL, for example, sandstone beds were seen to have been offset about a foot along a small fault, A thin sill of tuff occupies the same stratigraphic horizon on opposite sides of this fault, but the slll has not been displaced by the fault. lnstead, the tuff occupies a short segment of the fault to effect the slight jog between its positions in the strata on either side, lntrusion of the tuff plainly postdated all movements along this fault, 2.546 LBVP UFSAR Change Request Seismology and Geology 52

These covers were observed to be continuous in some parts of all the trenches, and thin and cliscontinuous in a few other parts. Elsewhere, the marine sediments were absent altogether, as in the lower.and more southerly prts of Trenches EJ and WU and in the lower and more westedy pas of Trenches KL and NO. The range in lilhology of these deposits is considerable, and includes bouldery rubble, gravel composed of well-rounded fragments ol shells ancl/or Monterey rocks, beach sand, loose accumulations of shells, pebbly silt. silty to clayey sand wilh abundant shell fragments, and soft clay derived from underlying tuffaceous rocks. Nearly all of the deposits are at least sparsely fossiliferous, ancl many of them contain little other than shell material. Vertebrate fossils. chiefly vertebral and rlb materials representing large marin mâmmls, are present locally. The trenches'in and near the site of lhe reactor structure exposed a uried narrow ridge of hard bedrock that once projected westward as a bold promontory along an ancient sea coast, probably at a time when sea level corresponded approximately to the present I t OO toot contour (rnfer tose+ Figure 2.6-i 1) Along the flanks of this prornontory and Edlted for Clarlty - Røfer to the face of an adjoining buried sea cliff that extends southeastward through lhe area in ApplcBbllty Delerrninalion Matrí¿ ltem

This rubbly material evidenlly is talus that was formed and deposlted along the margins of the ancient shoreline cliff, Símilar gradations of older marine deposlts into older talus deposits were osewable at higher levels in lhe easternmost parts of Trenches l(L and NO, where the rubbly nraterials doubtless lie against a more ancient sea cliff that wes formed when sea level corresponclecl to th present 140 foot contour. The clltf itself was not exposed, however, as it lies slightly beyond the limits of lrenching.
ln many places, the marine covers are overlain by younger nonmarine terrac sediments wlth a sharp break, but elsewhere lhe contact between these two kinds ol deposits is a zone of dark colored material, a few inches to as much as 6 feet thick, that rspresents weathering and development of soils on the marine sections. Fragments of these soily materials are presenl here and there in the basal parts of the nonmarine section. Over large areas, the porous marine deposits have been cliscolored through infiltration by fine-grained materials deríved from the overlying ancienl soils. The nonmarine accumulations, which form the predominant fraction of lhe entire terrace cover, consist mainly of slump, creep, and slope-wash debris that is characteristically loose. uncompacted, and internally chaotic. These relatively dark colored deposits are fine grained and clayey, but they contain sparse to very abundant fragments of Monterey rocks generally ranging from less than an inch lo about 2 feet in maximunl 2.5-47 LBVP UFSAR Change Requesl Seisnrology and Geology 53

Toward Diablo Canyon they overlie and, in places, intertongue with silty to dayéy gravels that are ancient óontrbuiions from Diabló Creek when it flowed at levels much higher than its present one, These "dirty" alluvial deposits appeared only in the most northerly parts of the more recently trenched tenace area, and they are not distinguished from other parts of the nonmarine cover on the geologlc sections (Figure 2.5-13), All the terrace deposits are soft and unconsolidated, and hence are much less resistant to erosion than is the underlying bedrock. Those appearing along the walls of the exploratory trenches showed some tendency to wash and locally to rill when exposed to heavy rainfall, but little slumping and no gross failure were noted in the trenches.
- 6. lnterface Between Bedrock and Sut'fical Daposifs As exposed continuously in the exploratory trenches, the contact between bedrock and overlying terrace deposits represents two wave-cut platforms and intervening slopes, all of Pleistocene age. The broadest surface of ancient marine erosion ranges in altitude from 60 to 105 feet, and its shoreward margin, at the base of an ancient sea cliff, lies uniformly within 5 feet of the 100 foot contour, A higher, older, and less extensive marne platform ranges in altitude.from 130 to 145 feet, and most of it lies within the ranges of 135 to 140 feet, As noted previously, these are two of several wave-cut benches in this coastal area, each of which terminates eastward against a cliff or steep shoreline slope and westward at the upper rim of a similar but younger slope.
Available exposures indicate that the configurations of the erosional platforms are markedly similar, over a wide range of soales, to that of the platform now being cut approximately at sea level along the present coast. Grossly viewed, they slope very gently in a seaward (westerly) direction and are marked by broad, shallow channels and by upward projections that must have appeared as low spines and reefs when the benches were being formed. The most prominent reefs, which rise from a few inches to about 5 feet above neighboring parts of the bench surfaces, are composed of hard, thick-bedded sandstone that was relatively resistant to ancient wave erosion, As shown in the geologic sections (Figure 2.5-13), the surfaces of the platforms are nearly planar in some places but elsewhere are highly inegular in detail. The small scale irregularities, generally 3 feet or less in vertical extent, include knob-, spine-, and rib-like projections and various wave-scoured plts, notches, orevices, and channels, Most of the upward projections closely correspond to relatively hard, resistant beds or parts of beds in the sandstone section, The depressions consistently mark the positions of relatively soft silty or shaley sandstone, of very soft tuffaceous rocks, or of extensively jointed rocks. The surface traces of most faults and some of the most prominent joints are in sharp depressions, some of them with overhanging walls, All these irregularities of detail have modern analogues that can be recognized on the bedrock bench now being cut along the margins of Diablo Cove. The inierface between bedrock and overlying surficial deposits provides information concerning the age of youngest fault movements within the bedrock seotion. This interface is nowhere offset by faults that were exposed in the trenches, but instead has 2,548 LBVP UFSAR Change Request Seismology and Geology 54
DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE been developed irregularly across the faults after their latest movements. The consistency of this general relatlonship was establlshed by hlghly detailed tracing and inspection of the contact as freshly exhumed by scallng of the trench walls, Gaps in exposure of the interface necessarily were developed at the intersections of trenches as in the exploralion at the Unit 1 site. At such localities, the bedrock was carefully laid bare so that alljoints and faults could be recognized and traced along the trench floors to points where their relationships with the exposed interface could be determined, Corroborative evidence concerning the age of the most recent fault displacements stems from the marine deposits that overlie the bedrock bench and form a basal part of the terrace section. That these deposits rest without break across the traces of faults in the underlying bedrock was shown by the continuity of individualsedimentary beds and lenses that could be clearly reoognized and traced. As in other parts of the site area, some of the faults are directly capped by individual boulders, cobbles, pebbles, shells, and fossil bones, none of which have béen affected by fault movements, Thus, the most recent fault displacements in the plant slte area occurred before marine planation of the bedrock and deposition of the overlying tenace sediments. The age of the most recent faulting in this area is therefore at least 80,000 years. More probably, it is at least 120,000 years, the age most generally asslgned to these terrace deposits along other parts of the California coastline. Evidence from the higher bench in the plant site area indicates a much older age, as the unfaulted marine deposits there are considerably older than those that occupy the lower bench corresponding to the 100 foot terrace. Moreover, it can be noted that ages thus determined for most recent fault displacements are minlmal rather than absolute, as the latest faulting actually could have occuned millions of years ago. During the Unlt 2 exploratory trenching program, specialattention was directed to those exposed parts of the wave-cut benches where no marine deposlts are present, and hence where there are no overlying reference materals nearly as old as the benches themselves, At such places, lhe bedrock beneath each bench has been weathered to depths ranging from less than 1 inch to at least l0 feet, a feature that evidently corresponds to a lengthy period of surface exposure from the time when the bench was abandoned by the sea to the time when lt was covered beneath encroaching nonmarlne deposits derived from hillslopes to the east, Stratification and other structural features are clearly recognizable in the weathered bedrock, and lhey obviously have exercised some degree of control over localization of the weathering, Moreover, in places where upward pojections of bedrock have been gradually bent or rotationally draped in response to weathering and creep, their contalned fractures and surfaces of movement have been correspondingly bent, Nowhere in such a section that has been disturbed by weathering have the materials been cut by younger fractures that would represent straight upward projections of breaks in the underlying fresh rocks. Nor have such fractures been observed in any of the overlying nonmarine terrace cover. 2.5-49 LBVP UFSAR Change Request Seismology and Geology 55
DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE Thus, the minimum age of any fault movement in the plant site area is based on compatlble evidence from undlsplaced reference features of four kinds: (a) Pleistocene wave-cut benches developed on bedrock, (b) immediately overlying marine deposits

I iz.s.z+.2.s.1. Bedrock Geology of the Plant Foundatlon Excavatlons Edlted for Clarlty - Revlsed Sectlon Numbor Bedrock was continuously exposed ln the foundation excavations for major structural components of Units 1 and 2, Outlines and inved elevations of these large openings, which ranged in depth from about 5 to nearly 90 feet below the original ground surface, are shown in Figures 2.5-15 and 2.5-16. The complex pattern of straight and curved walls with various positions and orientations provided an excellent three-dimensional representation of bedrock structure. These walls were photographed at large scales as construction progressed, and the photographs were used directly as a geologic mapping base. The largest excavations also were mapped in debil on a surveyed planimetric base. Geologic mapping of the plant excavations confirmed the conclusions based on earlier investigations at the site. The exposed section of Monterey strata was found to correspond in lithology and structure trc what had been predicted from exposures at the mouth of Diablo Canyon, along the sea cliffs in nearby Diablo Cove, and in the test trenches, Thus, the plant foundation ls underlain by a moderately to steeply north-dipping sequence of thin to thick bedded sandy mudstone and fine-grained sandstone. The rocks at these levels are generally fresh and competent, as they lie below the zone of intense near-surfaoe weathering, Several thin interbeds of claystone were exposed in the southwestern part of the plant site in the excavations for the Unit 2 turbine-generator building, intake conduits, and outlet struclure. These beds, which generally are less than 6 inches thick, are distinctly softer than the flanking sandstone, Some of them show evldence of intemal shearing, Layers of tuffaceous sandstone and sills, dikes, and inegular masses of tuff and tuff breccia are present in most parts of the foundation area. They tend to increase in abundance and thickness toward the south, where they are relatively near the large masses of Obispo Tuff exposed along the coast south of the plant site, Some of the tuff bodies are conformable with the enclosing sandstone, but others are markedly discordant. Most are clearly intrusive. lndividual masses, as exposed ln the excavations, range in thickness from less than 1 lnch to about 40 feet, The tuff breccia, which ls less abundant than the tuff, consists typically of small fragments of older tuff, pumice, or Monterey rocks ln a matrlx of fresh to highly altered volcanic glass, At the levels of exposure ín the excavations, both the tuff and tuff breccia are somewhat sotter than the enclosing sandstone. 2.5-50 LBVP UFSAR Change Request Seismology and Geology 56
DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE The stratification of the Monterey rocks dips generally northward throughout the plant founc,lation area. Steepness of dips inoreases progressively and, in places, sharply from norlh to south, ranging from 10 to 15" on lhe north side of Unil 1 to 75 to 80'in lhe area of Unit 2. A local reversal in direction of dip reflects a small ope fold or warp ln the Unit 1 area. The axis ol this fold ls parallel to the overall strike of the bedding, and strata on the north limb dip eouthward at angles of 10 to 15'. The more general steepening of dips from north to south may reflect btrttressing by the large masses of Obispo Tuff south of the plant slle. The bedrock of the plant area is traversed throughout by fractures, including various planar, broadly curving, and irregular breaks, A domnant sel of steeply dipping to vertical joints trends northerly, nearly normal to the strike of bedding. Other joints are diverseiy oriented with strikes ln various directions and dips ranging from 10" to vertical. Many fractures curve abruptly, terminate against other breaks. or die out within single beds or groups of beds. Most of the joints are widely spaced, ranging from about 1 to 10 leet aparl, but wlthin sevaral northerly trending zones, ranging in wldth from 10 to 20 faet, closely spaced near vertical fractures give the rocks a blocky or platy appearance, The fracture and ioint surfaces are predominantly clean and tighl, although some irregular ones are thinly coated with clay or gypsum, Others could be traced into lhin zones of breccia with calcite cement. Several small faults were mapped in the foundation excavations for Unit 1 and the outlet structure, A detaled discusslon of these breaks and their relationship to faults that were mapped earlier along the sea cllff and in the exploratory trenches is included in the following section. I z,s,z+,z.s.a Relationships of Faults and Shea Surfaces Edlled lor Clarlly - Revisecl Soction l{umler Several subparallel breaks are recognizable on the sea cliff immediately south of Diablo Canyon, where they transect moderately thick-bedded sandstone of the kind exposed in the exploratory trenches to the east.

The indicated trend, which projects eastward toward ground north of the Unit 1 reactor slte, has been summed from numerous indiviclual measurements of strike on the sea clifi exposures, and ll also corresponds to the traoe of the main break as observed in nearly horizontal outcrop within the tidal zone west of the cliff.
The structure section shows all recognizable surfaces of faulting and shearing in the sea clif that are conlinuous for distances oi 10 feet or more. Taken together, they represent a zone of dslocation along which rocks on lhe norlh have moved upward with respect to those on the south as lndic¿ted by the attitude and roughness sense of 2.5-51 LBVP UFSAR Change Requesl Seismology and Geology 57

The total amounl of movement cannot be determined by any direct means, but it probably is not more than a few tens of feet and could well be less than 10 feet. This ls suggesled by the following observed features; (1) All individual breaks are sharp and narrow, and the strata between them are essentially undeformed except for thoir gross inclination, (2) Some breaks plainly die out as traced upward along the cliff suÉace, and others merge wth adjoinng reaks.

(5) No fault breccia is present: instoed, the zone represents transection of otherwise undefonned rocks by sharply-defned breaks. No bedrock unit is cut off and juxtaposed against a unit of different lithology along any of the breaks. (6) Local prorninence of the exposed breaks, and especially the main one. is clue to slickensides, surface coatings of gypsum, and iron-oxide stains rather than to any features reflecting large-scale movements. This zone of faulting cannot be regarded as a major tectonic elemenl, nor is it the kind of feature normally essociated with the generation of earthquakes. lt appears lnstead to reflect second-order rupturing related to a rnarked change in díp of strata to lhe soüth, and its general sense of movement is what one would expect if the breaks were developed durng folding of the Monterey section against what amounts to a broad I buttress of Obispo Tuff farther south (r eler l')o4 geofogic map, Figure 2.5-8).

DCPP UNITS 1 A2 FSAR UPDATE That lhe surfaces of movement constitute no4ore than minor elements of the bedrock struclure was verifed by detailed mapping of the large excavations for the plant structures, Detailed examination of lhe excavation walts indicated that the faults exposed in the sea cliff soulh of Diablo Canyon continue lhrough the rock under the Unlt 1 turbine-generator building, where lhey are expressed as three subparallel bteaks with easterly trend and moderalely steep northerty dips (Figure 2.5-16). Stratigraphic separation along these breakç renges from a few inches to nearly 5 feet, and, in general, decreases eastward on each ol thenl. They evidently die out in the ground irnmediately west of the containment excavation, and lheir eastward projec'tions are represented by several joints along which no offsets have ocourred, Such jolnts, wilh eastward trend and northwarcl dip, also are abundant in some of the ground adjacent to the faultç on the south (Figure 2.5-15). The easterly reach of the Diablo Canyon sea clitf faults apparently corresponds to the two most northerly of the north-dipping faults mapped in Trench A (Figure 2.5-14). Dying out of these breaks, as established from subsequent large excavations in the ground east of where Trench A was located, explains and verifies the absence of faults in the exposed rocks of Trenches B and C, Other minor faults and shear surfaces mapped in the trench exposures could not be ldentified ln the more extensive exposures of fresher rocks ín the Unit 1 containment and turbine"generâtor building excavalons. The few other minor faults that were mapped in these large excavations evidently are not sufficiently conlinuous to have been present ln the exploratory lrenches.

From results of these studies, together with data pertaining to lhe lrroader aapects of the geology and seismicity of central and eastern Callfornía, il can be concluded that, allhough the southern Coast Ranges region may be subjected to vibratory ground motion from earthquakes originating along faults as distant as 200 miles or more, the region itself is lraversed by faults capable of producing large earthquakes, and thal the strongest shaking possible for sltes within lhe region probably woutd be caused by earthquakes no more than a few tens of miles away. Therefore, only the seismicity of the southern Coast Ranges, the adjacent offshore area, and the western Transverse Ranges is reviewed in detail.

DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE The avallable information suggesls that the faults in this region can be associated with contrasting general levels of seismic potential. These are as follows: (1) Level l: Potential for great earthquakes involving surface faulting over dietances on the order of 100 miles: seismic activity at this level should occur ony on the reach of the San Andreas fautt that extends between the locales of Cajon Pass and Parkfield. This was the souroe of the 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake, estimated to have been of Magnltude 8. (21 Level il: Polential for large earlhquakes involving faulting over distances on the order of tens of miles: seismic activity at this level can occur along offshore faults in the Santa Lucia Bank region (the likely source of the Magnitude 7.3 earthquake o1 1927), and possibly along the Big Pine and Santa Ynez faults in the Transverse Ranges, Allhough the Rinconada-San Marcos-Jolon, Espinosa, Sur-Nacimlento, and San Simeon faults do not exhibit historical or even Holocene activlty indcating this level of seismic potential, the fault dimensions, togather with evidence of late Pleistocene movements along these faults, suggest that they may be regarded as capable of generaling similarly large earlhquakes, (3) Level lll: Potentialfor earthquakes rsulting chiefly from movement at depth with no surface faulting, but at least with some possibility of surface faulting of as much as a few miles strike lengh and a few feet of slip: Seismic activity Bt this level probably could occur on almost any major fault in the southsrn Coast Ranges and adjacent regions, From the observed geologic record of limited fault activity extencling into Quaternary time, and from the lristorlcal record of apparently associated seismiclty, it can e inferred lhat both the greaterfreguency of earthquake actlvity and larger shocks from earlhquake source structures having this level of seismic potential probably will be associated with one of the relatively extensive faults, Faults ln the vlcinlty of the San Luis Range that may be considered to hâve such seismic potential include the West Huasna, Edna, and otfshore Santa Maria Basin East Boundary zone.

Earthquakes that ntight reach the site after traveling over greal distances would lend to have their high frequency waves filtered out. Earlhquakes that might be centered close to the site would tend to produce wave forms al the site having minor low frequency characteristics. ln order to evaluate the frequency distribution of earlhquakes, the concept of tho response spectrum is used, For nearby earthquakes, the resulting response spectra accelerations would peak sharply at shorl periods and would decay rapidly at longer periods. Earthquake D woulcl produce such response spectra. The March 1957 San Francisco earthquake as recorded in Golden Gate Park (S80"E component) was the same type. lt procluced a maximum recorded ground acceleration of 0.13 g (on rock) at a distance of about I miles from the epicenter. Since Earthquake D has an assignecl hypocentral distance of 12 mlles, it would be expected to produce response speclra similar in shape to those of the 1957 event. 2.5.63 LBVP UFSAR Change Request Seismology and Geology 69
DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE Large earthquakes centered at some distance from the plant site would tend to produce response specira accelerations that peak at longer periods than those for nearby smaller shocks, Such spectra malntain a higher spectral acceleration throughout the period range beyond the peak period. Earthquakes A and C are events that would tend to produce this type of spectra. The intensity of shaking as indicated by the maximum predicted ground acceleratíon shows that Earthquake C would always have lower spectral accelerations than Earthquake A, Since the two shocks would have approximately the same shape spectra, Earthquake C would always have lower spectral accelerations than Earthquake A, and lt is therefore eliminated from further consideralion. The north-south component of the 1940 El Centro earthquake produced response spec'tra that emphasized the long period characteristics descrlbed above. Earthquake A, because of lts distance from the plant site, would be expected to produce response spectra similar in shape to those produced by the El Centro event, Smoothed response spectra for Earthquake A were constructed by normalizing the El Centro spectra to 0.10 g. These spectra, however, show smaller accelerations than the corresponding spectra for Earthquake B (discussed in the next paragraph) for all building periods, and thus Earthquake A is also eliminated from further consideration, Earthquake B would tend to produce response spectra that emphasize the intermediate period range inasmuch as the epicenter ls not close enough to the plant site to produce large high frequency (short-perod) effecls, and it is too close to the slte and too small in magnitude to produce large low frequency (long-perlod) effects, The N69"W component to the 1952 Taft earthquake produced response spectra having such characteristics. That shock was therefore used as a guide in establishing the shape of the response spectra that would be expected for Earthquake B. Following several meetings with the AEC staff and their consultants, the following two modifications were made in order to make the criteria more conservative: (1) The Earthquake D time-hlstory was modified ín order to obtain better continuity of frequency distribution between Earthquakes D and B. (2) The accelerations of Earthquake B were increased by 25 percent in order to provide the required margin of safety to compensate for possible uncertainties in the basic earthquake data. Accordingly, Earthquake D-modified was derived by modlfying the S80"E component of the 1957 Golden Gale Park, San Francisco earthquake, and then normalizing to a maximum ground acceleration of 0.20 g. Smoothed response spectra for this earthquake are shown in Figure 2.5-21 . Likewise, Earthquake B was derived by normalizing the N69'W component of the 1952 Taft earthquake to a maximum ground acceleration of 0,15 g. Smoothed response spectra for Earthquake B are shown in Figure 2.5-20. The maximum vibratory motion at the plant site would be produced by 2.5-64 LBVP UFSAR Change Request Seismology and Geology 70

The NRC adopted the USGS rEcommendation of the seismic potential of the Hosgri fault. ln addition, based on the recommendation of Dr. N, M. Newmark, the NRC prescribed that an effective horizontal ground acceleration of 0.759 be used for the development of response spectra to be employed in a seismic evaluation of the plant. The NRC oullined prooedures considered appropriate for the evaluation including an adjustmenl of the response spectra to account for the filtering effect of the laçe building foundations. An appropriate allowance for torsion and tllting was to be inoluded in the analysis. A guideline for the consideratlon of inelastic behavior, with an associated duotility ratio, was also established, I fne NRC issued SER SSuppffiin September 1976, This , Edited fo Clarity supplement ncluded independently-derived response spectra and the rationale for their development. Parameters to be used in the foundation filtering calculation were delineatecl for each major slructure.

The time-histories of strong motion for selected earlhquakes recorded on rock close to the epicenters were normalized to a 0.759 peak accelerslion- Such records provide the best available models for the Diablo Canyon conditions relative to the Hosgri feult zone.

Adjustments were made subsequently in the period range of the response spectrum above 0.40 sec for the greater long period energy expected in a 7.5M shock as compared to the model magnitudes. The procedure followed was to develop 7 percent damped response spectra for each of the eighl records normafized to 0.759 and lhen to treat the results statistically accordirrg to period bands to obtain the mean, the median, and the standard deviations pf spectral response. At lhis stage, no adjustments tor the size of the foundation or for ductilly were made The 7 percent damped response speclra were used as the basis for calculatig spectra at olher damping values.

The East Boundary zone has an overall length of about 70 miles lndividual breaks within the zone are as much as 30 miles long, though the varying amount of dfsplacement that occurs along specilic lrreaks índicates that movement a[ong them is not uniform, and lt suggests that breakage may have occurred on separate, limited segments of the faults. The reach of the zone that is opposite DCPP site contains four fault breaks. These breaks range from 1 to 15 miies ln tength, and they have minimum distances of 2.1 to 4.5 mlles fronr the site. The Easl Boundary zone is considered to be seismically active. since at least five instrurnentally well locateql epicenters and as many as ten less reliably localed other epicenlers are centered along or near the zone.

The maximum size of any individual opening was 3 inches or less, and mot were less than 'l inch in maximum dimension. Because of lhe limited extent and isotated nature of these small voids, they were not considered slgnifcant in foundation engineering or slope stability analyses. 2.5'73 LBVP UFSAR Change Requesl Seismology and Geology 79 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE It has been determined by lield examination that no sea caves exist in the lmmediate vicinlty of the slte, The only cave like natural features in the area are shallow pits and hollows in some of the sea cliff outcrops of resistant tuff, These features generally have dimensions of a few inches to about 10 feet. They are superficial, and have originated through differentíal weathering of variably cemented rock, Several exploratory wells have been drilled for petroleum within the San Luis Range, but no production was achieved and the wells were abandoned, The area is not now actlve in terms of either production or exploration; The location of the abandoned wells is shown in Figure 2,5-6, and the geologic relationships in the Range are fllustrated in Section A-A' of Figure 2,5-6 and in Figure 2.5-7, Section D-D'. The nearest oíproducing area is the Arroyo Grande field, about 15 míles to the southeast, The potential for future problems of ground instability at the site, because of nearby petroleum produclion, can be assessed in terms of the geologic potential for the occurrence of oil within, or offshore from, the San Luis Range. ln addition, assessment can be made in terms of the geologic relationshlps in the slte as contrasted wlth geologic oonditions in places where oil field exploitation has resulted in deformation of the ground surface. As shown in Figures 2.5.6 and 2.5-7, the San Luis Range has the structural form of a broad synclinal fold, which in turn is made up of several tightly compressed anticlines and synclines of lesser order. The configuration is not conducive to entrapment of hydrocarbon fluids, as such fluids tend to migrate upward through beddíng and fracture-controlled zones of higher primary and secondary pormeabllity until they reach a local trap or escape into the near surface or surface environment. \Â/ithin the San Luis Range, the only recognizable structural traps are in local zones where plunge reversals exist along the crests of the second-order anticlines. Such structures evidently were the actual or hoped-for targets for most of the exploratory wells that have been drilled in the San Luis Range, but none of these wells has produced enough oil or gas to record; lhus, the traps have not been effective, or perhaps the strata are essentially lacking in hydrocarbon fluids. Other conditions that indicate poor petroleum prospects forthe Range include the general absence of good reservoir rocks wlthin the section and the relatively shallow basement of non petroliferous Franciscan rocks. ln the offshore, adjacent to the southerly flank of the San Luis Range, subsufface conditions are not well known, but are probably generally similar, Scattered data suggest that a structural high, perhaps defined by a west-northwest plunging anticline, may exist a few miles offshore from DCPP site. Such a feature could conceivably serve as a structural trap, if local closure were present along its axis; however, it seems unlikely that it would contain slgniflcant amounts of petroleum, 2.5-74 LBVP UFSAR Change Request Seismology and Geology 80 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE Available data pertainlng to exploratory oil wells drilled in the region of the site are given here: Exploratorv Oil Wells in the Vicinitv of DCPP Site Data from exploratory wells drilled outside of oil and gas fields in California to December 31, 1963: Division of Oil and Gas, San Francisco, Mount Diablo Total Stratigraphy B.&M, Elev, Date Depth, (depth in ft) Age T R Sec Operator WellNo. ft Started fr at Bottom of Hola 31S1OE 3 Tidewater "Montadoro" 365 April 6,146 Monterey 0-3800; OilCo, 1 1 954 Obispo Tuff 3800 Franciscan; U.

The general subject of surface deformation associated wlth oil and gas field operallons I has been reviewed by Yerkes and Castle (Referelc* 22f=, among others. Such Ediled for Conslslen(y deformation includes tJifferential subsídence, development ol horizontally compresslve strain effeots within the central parts of subsidence bowls and horizontally extengive strain effects around their margins, and development or activation of oracks and faults. Pullapart cracks and normal faults may develop in the merginal zone of extensive strain, whlle reverse and thrust fuults sometimes occur in the central, compresslve part of subsidence bowls, These effects all can develop when extraction of petroleum, water, and sand, plus lowering of fluid pressures, result in compression within and adjacent to producing zones, and ettendant subsidence of the overlying ground. Other effects, including rebound of the ground surface, fault activation, and oarthquake generatíon, have resulted from injection of fluid inlo the ground for purposes of secondary rcovery, subsidence control, and disposal of fluid waste. ln virtually all instances of ground-surfaoe deformatlon associated wlth petroleum proc{uclion, the producing field has been centered on an anticfinal structure, in general relatively broad and intemally faulted. The strata in the producing and ovellying parts of the section typically are poorly consolidatecl sandetone, slltstone, claystone, and shale of low structural competence. Tlre field generally is one wlth relatlvely large production, wlth significant decline of fluid pressure ln the producing zones. The conditions just ciled can be contrastecl with those obtained in the vicinity of DCPP site, where the rocts lie along the flank of a major ayncline. They consist of tight sandstone, tuffaceous sandstone, mudstone, and shale, together wlth large resistanl mâsses of tuft and cliaase. Bedding clips range from near horizontal to verlical and steeply overturned, as shown in Section D-D' of Figure 2.5-7 and Section A-B ot Figure 2.5-10. This structural selling is unlíke eny reported from areas where oil"fied-associated surface deformation has occuned, The foregoing discussion leads to the following conclusions: (a) future development of a producing oil fielcl in the vicinity of DCPP site is hlghly unlikely because of unfavorable geologic conditions, ând (b) geologic conditions in the síte vicinity are not conducive to the occurrence of srtrface deformation, even if nearby petroleum production could be achievecl. As was noted in Section 2.4, the rocks underlying the site do not constitute a signilcant groundwater reservoi, so that future development of deep rock water wells ln the vicinity is not a reasonable possibility. The considerations pertaining to surface deformation resulting from water extraction are about the same as for petroleum exlraction, so there is no likelihood that DCPP site could experience artificially incluced and polentially damaging subsidence, uplift, collapse, or changes in subsllrface effective stress related to pore pressLrre phnonena, 2.5-76 LBVP UFSAR Change Requesl Seisnrology and Geology 82 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE Tlrere are no mineral deposits of oconomic significance ln the ground underlying the site. Allhough sonre regional warping and upllfr may well be taklng place ín the southern Coast Ranges, such deformalion cannot be sutficiently rapid and local to impose signlficant effects on coastel installalions. Appar.enf elevation of the San Luis Range has lncreased bout 100 feel relatve to sea level snce th cuttng of the main terrace bench at least E0,000 years ago. Expresslons of deforrnation preserved ln the bedrock ât the site include minor faults, folds. end zones of blocky fracturing ln sandstone and intra-bed sheafing in claystone. Zones of cemented breccia also are present, aa is widespread evidenoe of dlsturbance adjacent to intrusive bodies of tuff, Local weakening of the rocks ln some of these zones led to some problems during construction, but these were handled by conventional techniques such as overexcavation and rock bolting. No observed features of detormation are large or continuous enough to impose signlficant effects on the overall performance of the site foundation. The foundation excavations for Units 1 and 2 were extended below the zone of intense near sudace weathering so that the exposed bedrock was found to be relatively fresh and firm The princípal zones of structural weal(ness are associated with small bodies of altered tuff and with internally shearecl beds of claystone, The claystone intra-becl shearwas expressed by the development of numerous slickenslded shear surfaces within parts of the beds, especially in places where the claystone had locally been squeezed lnto pod like masses. The shearing and local squeezing clearly are expressions of the preferential occurrence of differential adjustments in the relatively weaker claystone beds durlng foldlng of the secllon. The claystone beds are locatized [n a part of lhe rock section that underlies the discharge structure and extsncls across the southerly part of the Unit 2 turbine-generator building, thence contínuing easlerly, along a strike through the ground south of the Unit 2 containment. The bedding dips 48 to 75" north wlthin this zone. lndividttal clayslone beds range from 112 inch to about 6 inches in thickness, and lhey occur as interbeds in the sandstone-mudslone rock section . The relationship of the claystone layers to the foundation excayation is such that they I crop out in several nerrow bands across the floor ancl walls (refer tqs++ Figures 2,5-i5 Ediled lor Clarily - Refer to and 2,5-16). Thus, the claystone bed remalns confined within the rock section, except Applicablty Dotermlnalion Mátrix trern ilr a narrow strip at the face of the exoevation. Because of the small amounl of #7 claystone mass and the geometrc relationshlp of the steeply dipping claystone interbeds to the foundation structures, it was delermined that the finished structure would nol be affected by any tendency of the clayslone to undergo further changes in volume. 2,5-77 LBVP UFSAR Change Request Seisrnology and Geology 83 DCPP UiJITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE The only areá ln which laystone swelling was monitored was along the nofth wall of lhe lower part ot the large slot cut for the cooling water dlscharge structure. There are several thin (6 inches or less) claystone interbeds in the sandstone-mudstone section, Because the orientation of the bedding and the plane of the cul face dfffer by only aboul 30", and the bedding dips steeply into the face, opening of the cut served both to remove lateral support from the rock behind the face, and also to expose the clay beds to rainfall and runoff. This apparently resulted in both load refief and hydration swelling of the newly exposed claystone, which in turn caused some outward movment of the cut face. The movement then continued as gravity creep of the looally destablllzed mass of rock between the clayslone beds and the free face. The movement was finally controlled by installation of drilled-in laleraftie-backs, prior to placement of the reinforced concrete wall of the discharge structure. No evldence of unrelieved residual stresses in the bedrock was noted during tlre excavation or subsequent conslruction of lhe plant foundation, lsolated'occurrences of temporary slope lnstablllty cleâfy were related to loclly weathered and fractured rock, hydration swelling of claystone interbeds, end local saturatlon by surface runoff, The Units 1 and 2 power planl facilities are founcled on physioally and chemically stable bedrock, I Z,S,s+.2 Properties of Underlylng Maüerials Edlted for Clarlty - Revised Seclion Number , Static and dynamic engineering properties of nraterials in the subsurface al lhe site are I presented in Section 2.5.2+.2,6, Site Engineering Properlies.

Moved toxl lrorn Section 2.5 5.2 The Investigation of the cut slope included geologic mapping of the soil arrd rock condilons exposed on the surface of slope and existing benches. Subsurface conditions were investigated by drilling test borings and by axcavating tesl pits in the I natural slope above the plant sile (relr to+e* Fig.rre 2.5-22ir, The tet borings were Edlted lor Clarlty - Relr te drilled with a truck mounted, 24 lnch flight auger drill rig, and the test pits were Applicabillty Delernnalion Malnx llom excavatod with a track"mounted backhoe. Boring and Log of Test Pits 1, 2, and 3 were #7 logged by the soll consultanti borings 2 and 3 were logged by PG&E engineering personnel. The logs of all borings were verified by the soil consultant, who examined all samples obtained from each boring. Undisturbed samples were obtained from boring 2 and each of the test pits. Because of lhe stiffness of the soil, hardness of the rock, and type of drilling equlpment used, lhe undisturbed sanrples were obtained by pushing an 18.inch steel lube that measured 2,5 inches in outside diameter, A Sprague & Henwood split-barrel sampler containing brass liners was used to obtain undisturbecl soil samples from the test pits. The brass liners measured 2.5 inches in outside dlanreter and 6 inches in height. Logs of the borings ancl pits are shown in Figures 2.5-23 through 2,5-27. The soils were classied in accordance with the Unified Soil Classification System presented in Figure 2.5-28. I Z.S,s+.2 Design Orlterla and Analyses Edlled for Clârlly - Revsed Se6tioh Numter Undisturbed samples of the materials encountered in pits and borings were examined by the soil consultant ín lhe laboratory and were subsequenlly tested to determine the shear strenglh, moisture oontent and dry density. Slrain controlled, unconsolidated, undrained triaxial tests al field moisture were performed on the clay to evaluate the shear strength of the materials penelrated. (The samples were mantained at fielcl moisture since adverse moislure or seepage conditions were nol encountered during tlris investigation nor previous investigations.) The conflning stess wes variecf in relation to depth el which the undisturbed sample was taken, The test results are presonted on the boring logs and are explained by the Key to Test Dala, Figure 2.5-29. The results of strength tests were correlated with the results devetopecl during earlier investigations of DCPP site Mohr circles of stresses at fallure (6 to 7 percent srain) were drawn for each strength test result, and lailure lines were developed tlrrouglr points representing one-half lhe devialor stresses, An average C-0 strength equal to a cohesíon (C) value of 1000 psf and an angle of internal friction (0) of 29" was selected for the slope slability analysis. The analysis was checked by maintaining the angle of internal friction (0) constant at 190 and varying the cohesion (C) from 950 psf (weakest layer) to 3400 psf(deepest and strongest layer). Because of the presence of large gravel sizes, il was not possible to eccurately determine the stength of the sand and gravel lense. However, basec.l on tests on sand samples from other parls of lhe site, an angle of internal friction of 35' was eeleoted es being the minimum available. An assumed rock strength of 5000 psf was usecl. This 2'5'81 LBVP uFsAR change Requesl Seismology ancl Geology 87 DCPP UNITS 1 & 2 FSAR UPDATE value is consistent with strength tests performed on remold rock samples from other areas of f he site. The stability of the slope was analyzed for the forces of gravity using a slatic method that is, the conventional nrethod of slices. This analysis was checked using Bishop's modified method. The static method of analysis was chosen because, for the soil sonditions al the site, lt was judged to be more conservative than a dynamic analysls, Because the overall strength of the rock would preclude a stability failure except along a plane of weakness which was not encountered in the borings or during the many geologic mappings of the slope, only the stability of the soil over the rock was analyzed. The strength parameters were varied as previously discussed to detennine the minimum factor of safety under the mosl critical strength condition. For the static analysis exctuding horizontal forces, lhe factor of safety was compuled to be 3 When the additional unbalanced horizontal force of 0,4 tmes the welght of the soll within the critical surface combined wlth a vertical force of 0.26 times the weighl was included, lhe minimum computed factor of safety was 1,1. On the basis of the investigation and analysis, lt was concluded that the slope adJacent to DCPP site would not experience instability of sufficient magnitude to damage adjacent safety-related structures. The above conclusion is substantiated by additional fielcl exploration, laboratory tests, I and dynamic analyses using finite element techniques.

Appllcbillty Determinallon.docx 0004.1806 102 Licensi ng Basis. Verification P roject UFSAR Enhancement I nltiatlve LBIE-Applicability Determination Approach Approach Discusslon The primary objective of the Licensing Basis Verification ProJect (LBVP) Updated FinalSafety Analysis Report (UFSAR) Enhancement initiative is to modiff the DCPP UFSAR such that it clearly and succinctly states the licensing basis design requirements to which PG&E has committed for DCPP and which the U,S. Nuclear Regulatory Commísçion (NRC) has approved. UFSAR changes are made in accordance with applicable regulations, DCPP procedures, and industry/NRC guidance, including the Nuclear Energy lnstitute's (NEl's) Guidelines for Updating Final Safety Analysis Repods (NEl 98-03, Revision 1), NEI's Guidelines for 10 CFR 50,59 lmplementafibn (NEl 96-07, Revision 1), and NRC's Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reporfs for Nuclear Power Plants (Regulatory Guide [RG] 1 .70, Revision 1). By LBVP definition and scope, the project's UFSAR enhancement Change Requests (CRs) involve documentation-only changes; any physical changes that are identified as a result of LBVP review will be done separate from and outside of the LBVP. LBVP-initiated UFSAR CRs will include up to four types of UFSAR changes, as follows:
- 1. Added text (e.9., to explicitly identify the licensing basis design requirements)
- 2. Revised text (e.9., to provide clarification) 3, Deleted text (e,9., to remove excessive detail)
- 4. Moved text (e.9., to reorganize existing information to improve reader understanding)
Because the LBVP is not changing the physical plant, its design, ts design basis, or its licensing basis, it is anticípated that most, íf not all, of the UFSAR changes will not be subject to 10 CFR 50.59 (i.e., Title 10 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Section 50.59) and the Licensing Basis lmpact Evaluation (LBIE) review process will appropriately terminate at the Applicability Determination (AD) stage, Any individual change(s) for which the AD concludes that 10 CFR 50,59 screening is required will be documented in a separate CR to facílitate processing, The LBVP will generally submit UFSAR enhancements on a section-by-section basis (or by groups of sections, as appropriate for the subject). The first LBVP enhancement change request, which has been incorporated, addressed Section 3.1 (including subsections, tables, and Appendix 3,14), That section describes DCPP's conformance with AEC/NRC General Design Criteria (GDCs) and the basic design requirements for plant structures, systems, and components important to safeÇ. The Section 3.1 revision was based on a thorough but general licensing basis review for the plant. As the LBVP continues the enhancement process, any conflicts identified between revised Section 3,1 and other sections of the UFSAR will be resolved in accordance with procedure OM7.lD1. The licensing basis review for the UFSAR section(s) that are the subject of thís enhancement CR identified the applicable GDCs and found no conflicts with UFSAR Section 3.1 (an inconsistent / ambiguous text reference to GDC 44,1971was deleted). The specific guidance that is expected to be applicable to dispositíon LBVP-initiated UFSAR CRs at the LBIE AD stage includes: 103 DCPP Procdure TS,3.lD2, Licensrnq Basls /mpacf Evaluafions: Block 2i lnstructions (Sec. 8.12, Note 2) - "UFSAR changes that can be excluded from the requirement to perform a 10 CFR 50,59 ... review include editorial changes, clariflcations to improve reader understanding, ,,. and incorporation of information approved by the NRC as a result of a license amendment request or other docketed correspondence." r Block 3 on Attachment 1 (AD) Form - "A 10 CFR 50.59 ,.. screen is NOT required because ALL aspects of the activity .., are covered in full in another LBIE review." a Attachment 2, Section 9,a, sixth bullet - "Examples of editorial non-technical correctíons allowed (without a 10 CFR 50.59 evaluation) include ... [c]orrections or clarification of text or table information that do not affect technical content (as agreed to by the UFSAR licensing engineer and the section owner,)" NEI 98-03, Revision 1. Aopendix A ("Modifuinq the Updated FSAR"): a Section A3 - "[A] licensee may elect to reformat the UFSAR to more clearly identify the design bases as defined in 10 CFR 50.2." a Section A4 - "Licensees may elect to simplífy information contained in the UFSAR to improve its focus, clarity and maintainability. ... Detailed text and drawings may be removed from the UFSAR to the extent that the information provided exceeds that necessary to present the plant design bases, safety analyses and appropriate UFSAR description. ... The following types of excessively detailed textual information may be removed from UFSARs, except as indicated by applicable regulatory guidance or NRC Safety Evaluation Reports: [1] Descriptive information that is not important to providing an understanding of the plant's design and operation from either a general or gystem functional perspective, [2] Design information that is not important to the description of the facility or presentation of its safety analysis and design bases, [3] Design information that, if changed during the life of the plant, would have no impact on the ability of plant systems, structures and components described in the UFSAR to perform their design basis function(s), [and] [4] Analytical information, e.9., detailed calculations, that is not important to providing an understanding of the safety analysis methodology, input assumptions and results, and/or compliance with relevant regulatory and industry standards." a Section A5 - "Licensees may remove obsolete and redundant information and commitments from UFSARs." NEI 96-07, Revision 1 o Section 4.1 .3 - "[M]odifications to the UFSAR that are not the result of activities performed under 10 CFR 50.59 are not subjectto controlunder 10 CFR 50,59, Such modifications include reformatting and simplification of UFSAR information and removal 104 of obsolete or redundant information and excessive detail. ... Similarly, 10 CFR 50.59 need not be applied to the following types of activities: [e]ditorial changes to the UFSARI;] [c]larifications to improve reader understanding[;l lc]orrection of inconsistencies within the UFSAR (e,9,, between sections)l;][m]inor corrections to drawings, e.9., correcting mislabeled valves[; and] [s]imllar changes to UFSAR information that do not change the meaning or substance of information presented," NEI 98-03, Revision 1, is endorsed by NRC RG 1.181 , Content of the Updated Final Safety Analysis Repon in Accordance with 10 CFR 50.71(e), dated September 1999. NEI 96-07, Revision 1, is endorsed by NRC RG 1,187, Guidance for lmplementation of 10 CFR 50.59, Changes,Iesfs, and Experiments, dated November 2000. Applicabllity Determination Matrix ln addition to providing annotations in the UFSAR Change Request Markup, some items may require additional discussion and justificatíon for the change. These changes are identífied in the annotated markup as "Refer to Applicability Determination Matrix." The applicability matrix provides further discussion of the proposed changes and identifies associated LBlEs, LARs, LAs, and analyses that provide the justification for the activities not requiring a 10 CFR 50.59 screen. The applicabilíty determination matrx also identifies actívities that do require a 10 CFR 50.59 screen. 105 1 UFSAR Section 8 lntroduction Applicability Determination Marix Artec{Gd LMng UFSAR Scllon' Assoclatcd Uccndng DocurrEnhtloo r0 cFR f05l ItaG Brlct Chetgc Oorrlptlon UFSAR Rcv.
